Hugo Award-nominated author Stina Leicht has created a take on space opera for fans of The Mandalorian and Cowboy Bebop in this high-stakes adventure.

Persephone Station, a seemingly backwater planet that has largely been ignored by the United Republic of Worlds, becomes the focus for the Serrao-Orlov Corporation as the planet has a few secrets the corporation tenaciously wants to exploit.

Rosie, owner of Monk's Bar, in the corporate town of West Brynner, caters to wannabe criminals and rich Earther tourists, of a sort, at the front bar. However, exactly two types of people drank at Monk's back bar: members of a rather exclusive criminal class and those who seek to employ them.

Angel, ex-marine and head of a semi-organized band of beneficent criminals, wayward assassins, and washed-up mercenaries with a penchant for doing the honorable thing, is asked to perform a job for Rosie. What this job reveals will effect Persephone and put Angel and her squad up against an army. Despite the odds, they are rearing for a fight with the Serrao-Orlov Corporation. For Angel, she knows that once honor is lost, there is no regaining it. That doesn't mean she can't damned well try.

the casual nature of the portrayed society towards all the sex/gender roles so divisive today is heartening. The multiple -types? levels?- of machine-intelligence characters, including a main was fascinating & well thought out.
Very few male characters, all in tertiary roles made for a good change of perspective from the usual male-dominated adventures I grew up with.
And no, I'm not of the League of Consonants, but I am an ally.

good blend of hard & soft scyfy

It's got all the representation you crave without any of the calories. At risk of taking the food metaphors too far, too much toast for too little butter.

Maybe I'm not the target audience, maybe I didn't do a great job of paying attention, but I just wasn't ever that engaged. It all felt very loose. Plot points are brought up then forgotten, focus is shifted, characters are given depth but no filling. It might have made an excellent trilogy, but as a standalone book I feel kind of let down.

I think that part of it was the voice actor. She does reasonably good accents but only really has one voice, if you get my drift.

I know that all sounds super critical, but I want to emphasize, it's not bad, just also not that good. Give it a read, you might do a better job than me.

Good parts include pov characters with they/them pronouns

This was a interesting read. I enjoyed the pov shifts between Angel, Kennedy, and Rose. Each had their own very intriguing story. The book had a very found family type of feel to it which is one of my favorite tropes ever. The problem was it had all of these interesting characters but there was a lack of depth. I just wanted the author to dig more into the characters backstories, thoughts, feelings, and motivations. The narrator did a good job but sometimes the characters didn't sound their age they instead sounded like teenagers. Overall though I enjoyed it.
